Gov. Rick Scott is holding 12:15 p.m. fundraising conference call Monday to discuss fundraising goals and a “February Statewide Finance” fly around the state, according to a letter sent Friday by Mike Fernandez, the chairman of Scott’s finance team.

“Governor Scott and I thank you for you friendship and commitment to ensure Florida’s future is steady and focused on ensuring a brighter future for all Floridians,” wrote Fernandez, a South Florida health care executive who has already given $1 million to Let’s Get to Work, a committee supporting Scott’s re-election.

The 12:15 p.m. time-frame is set aside for "staff and call time," according to Scott's daily schedule.

The letter also asks recipients to attend a March 2 fundraising pow-wow at the Little River Plantation in Havana, which, the letter says, will be the “evening before the Governor’s State of the State address.”

Scott did not raise any money for his campaign account in December, the first month he was a filed candidate. Let’s Get to Work, though, already has roughly $25 million in the bank.
